Projector Review: The Sharp XG-SV200X Presentation Projector

May 13, 2015

For business or conference hall presentations, the Sharp XG-SV200X boasts a long list of presenter-ready features and a powerful output. In other words, it’s suited for those large conferences with hundreds of attendees. Since it was released in 2013, technology has improved a bit, so it’s lagging in a few ways – there’s only one HDMI and USB port, for instance. Yet, for projecting high-quality, large-scale data images, the Sharp XG-SV200X is more than capable in reliability and performance. Plus, the price – mostly available now through resellers, starting around $2,000 – makes this a quality investment that can transform […]

May 7, 2015

For the price, the recently released Dell 1220 is a suitable piece of hardware for presenters, combining a useful suite of work-ready features and excellent lamp life.

It’s compatible with a wide-range of devices, there are plenty of connectivity options and ports, the lamp is bright enough to handle its own in well-lit spaces, and […]

Acer P5207B Review: Specifications, Pros and Cons

April 20, 2015

How does the Acer P5207b perform as a multimedia projector? On one hand, the two-year-old Acer provides satisfactory image quality in its native XGA resolution. Plus, the image is extremely bright, which makes this model perfect for large venues. The projector provides an estimated 4,000 ANSI lumens of brightness – powerful enough for spaces with modest levels of ambient light. But the projector does have its shortcomings. For one, compared to similarly priced models from various manufacturers, the Acer P5207 is missing some features that have become fairly common in recent years, including WiFi connectivity. That might be problematic, especially […]

April 14, 2015

In search of a presentation projector? The BenQ MW721 might just be your choice, as the manufacturer bills the MW721 as “just the projector you need to perfect your presentation.” That statement is mostly true. This BenQ model performs reasonably well in many categories, producing a bright, high-quality image and useable audio, while remaining portable. The biggest disadvantage, though, is that the BenQ is missing some key features, including a USB thumb drive port and WiFi connectivity, which are often necessities for presenters. So what are the pros and cons of the BenQ MW721 and how does it stack […]
